Oncogenic Potential

Endometrial polyps exceeding 4 centimeters in length are exceedingly rare and are termed “giant polyps.” We describe two patients that presented to our hospital with giant endometrial polyps. Clinical implications and oncologic potential of giant endometrial polyps are discussed. Risk factors of oncologic transformation include advanced age, menopausal status, obesity, diabetes, arterial hypertension, use of tamoxifen, and size greater than 1.0 centimeter. A literature review of all documented cases of giant endometrial polyps is presented and management strategies for counseling and polypectomy are reviewed.

Background: We report the case of a 90-year old woman who presented with septic pulmonary emboli due to suppurative thrombophlebitis at an old peripheral intravenous site. Methods: After unsuccessful treatment with antibiotics, the patient was taken to the operating room for excision and drainage of the purulent superficial vein. Results: We review the literature and discuss the presentation, risk factors, treatment options, and complications of this often-overlooked disease entity. Conclusions: Suppurative thrombophlebitis is a rare but morbid disease that requires a high level of clinical suspicion to diagnose.

Robust Response

Abstract One of clozapine's unrecognized potential side effects is renal insufficiency and nephritis. Although most clinicians are aware of the possibility of clozapine-induced myocarditis, less is known about other inflammatory disorders due to clozapine treatment. This patient was started on lithium and clozapine within 4 days of each other although lithium was discontinued after 7 days due to tremor. Routine labs showed an increase in serum creatinine, which was initially attributed to the recent lithium. However, the patient's kidney function continued to worsen, requiring discontinuation of clozapine despite a robust response to a low dose. Several years later, the patient's kidney function improved but has not returned to baseline. This literature review and case report illustrates the similarities in diagnostic presentation of clozapine-associated renal insufficiency as well as potential risk factors. More research should be conducted into the role concomitant sodium valproate and/or lithium play in the risk of clozapine-associated renal insufficiency.
